I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought. Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean (倾斜)to one side. Some people want to try to fix(修理) it. They are afraid it may fall over and they dont like it leans over the city. I do not think its a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Lets take the tower in Pisa as an example. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it. ( )26.This passage is about _.A. Italian pizza B. Italys problemsC. How the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name D. Why the writer likes Pisa( )27.The writer used to (过去曾经)think Pisa _.A. in Spain B. not very famousC. not the same as pizzaD. the same as pizza( )28.The Leaning Tower of Pisa is _.A. modern B. falling down C. 600 years old D. 60 years old( )29.The writer _.A. doesnt like what the tower looks like B. likes what the tower looks like C. thinks its the most beautiful tower in Italy D. doesnt like towers( )30.The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because _.A. its oldB. its perfect C. it sells pizzaD. its imperfectBNow some women are spending a weekend at Mothers Camp（营地）. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.At Mothers Camp a woman has a room of herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother(打扰) her. No children will ask,“Mom, whats for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I cant find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they cant find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.Some women go to Mothers Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they dont cook, they dont clean, they dont look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mothers Camp.( )31.From this passage we can see_ in the United States.A.women want to work outside the homeB.working wives do most of the houseworkC.hushands do as much housework as their wivesD.women do not like to stay at home with their families( )32.At Mothers Camp, women cant_ .
